Regardless, if there's some kind of version of BIND installed then
nslookup will almost certainly be there too since it's been part of the
BIND distribution for a long time.
However isn't this thread about SMTP? SMTP requires DNS and as such the
machine running Exim doing SMTP and using DNS will likely have nslookup
available on it. If you're not using SMTP then you won't likely need
DNS, and even though you might not have nslookup, that shouldn't matter
because you won't need it either! ;-)
